CBS News New York reported yesterday that New York Jets trainer Sal Alosi has been suspended without pay for the remainder of the season and fined an additional $25,000 for tripping Miami Dolphins cornerback Nolan Carroll on the sidelines during Sunday’s game.

I like football, and I am a Jets fan, but there is no excuse for this kind of behavior.  Mr. Alosi has apologized, but there is still no excuse.  It’s a game.  Just because it is a game, you do not have license to act like a petulant five-year old.  I realize that there have been other incidents of this type in the past, but I hope that suspending Mr. Alosi and fining him will put an end to this sort of behavior in the entire league.  It simply does not belong in the sport.
